The holiday season is upon us, and Orange County is the perfect place to experience the magic of Christmas.

This Thanksgiving, the heart of Ladera Ranch truly showed its colors.What started as a simple call to donate turned into an overwhelming response that filled five full cars with food and essential items, all delivered to Second Harvest Food Bank.

Ladera Ranch shines in the fall — cooler temperatures (some days), golden trees along O’Neill Drive, and a community calendar full of family events make it a beautiful time for buyers to fall in love with a home.
